App permanantly minimizes itself if I switch the window -> unusable

App constantly minimizes when you switch windows. This makes the program unusable as soon as you open another window.
In my case, I start the Windows program "Ultrastar Deluxe" via Crossover. It opens in full screen mode. If I now switch to another app, "Ultrastar Deluxe" minimizes (but is still visible at the bottom of the dock) and can no longer be opened, as it is only visible for a fraction of a second and minimizes again.
What can I do? I am running Crossover on an M1 Mac.
Thanks!

Not sure what is going here and not all windows apps behave the same. If the application has a graphic setting you can try configuring it not to open in full screen but windowed. This should allow you multitask and switch windows without the app window minimizing.

Thank you, it works!! :)

I know it's not a full solution, but have you tried enabling virtual desktop in wine config?

winemac.drv doesn’t support virtual desktop so that’s not an option for macOS users. Upstream now contains a patch to disabled the checkbox when using winemac.drv.
